EncourageOffer others a word of encouragement and it will brighten their day and sometime, when you least expect it and need it most, someone may give you a word of encouragement.

EveryoneFew of us can ever attain any measure of greatness all by ourselves, but with teamwork everyone achieves more.

EmpowerGiving a person knowledge, skill and attitude, and at the same time lifting them up and instilling confidence and self worth in them, is what empowers them to make right choices and decisions in life.

EnthusiasmLive life with that special spark of enthusiasm, and always remember what Conrad Hilton of the Hilton Hotels once said: Enthusiasm is the little recognized secret of success.

EnergyWhenever you're feeling tired, worn out, and physically or mentally drained, try to do one extra thing." This will often result in a burst of energy and a second wind.

ExcellenceThis is not an act but a habit. Being excellent once will not be sufficient; it must occur multiple times. A person should adopt excellence as a way of life, viewing everything with an Attitude of Excellence!

ExcitedHow do you usually react when someone shares a personal dream or accomplishment with you? Often the tendency is to pull people down, to be a nay-sayer, or to criticize. Instead, GET EXCITED about the successes, accomplishments, dreams, goals, and aspirations of others!

Apply these "E" words in your life and reap rich results.
